PlayOn enables consumers who own a PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, or HP MediaSmart TV to watch Internet video from sites including Hulu, CBS, YouTube, ESPN and more on their television. We have just released PlayOn Beta. Netflix support is just down the road, and the fully featured release will be coming shortly!

We will also be adding support for Nintendo Wii by the end of 2008. Stay tuned!

PlayOn is software you install on your Windows PC. With it, you can use your game console to watch Internet content from sites like Hulu and YouTube?directly on your TV. It's simple to install and easy to use.

  1. Sign up to become an official Beta tester.
  2. Download and install PlayOn on your Windows XP or Vista PC (you will be instructed how to download after signing up for the Beta testing).
  3. Turn on your home-networked game console and find the PlayOn Media Server.*
  4. Watch Hulu and YouTube on your TV!
  5. Check out the User Guide for further assistance.

I haven't tried it as yet, but I'm signing up for it right now.

The beta was just opened on Monday, so has anyone else here tried it yet?

gate1975mlm, I get a message on my 360 that says the content is using an unsupported codec and the content can not be played.

I get the message below when trying to play any video on the ps3.

The folder could not be accessed

This content may have been deleted from the media server

I contact technical support for PlayOn and within two minutes they responded, asking if I had installed the latest update that was released a few hours ago. My 360 sees no such update, but then an email they sent a little later said if I have the Fall 07 update, it should play (which I've had for quite a while now). Anyone have this working on their 360?

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
